This reverts commit 0772ab938c0aedd7f4cc7127059d6ce8cf929dfa.

Trying to optimize calls to eth_complete_tx in this fasion causes a regression
where when sending only the tx queue can get disabled until a packet is
received. This original call to eth_schedule_poll() is scheduled so it
should not cause a performance issue.
